This post is made of irony because you're doing g exactly the same thing. Using "spin" to fit your agenda. The march was anti-war, and labour happened to be the government of the day. The march was not "anti-labour" as you are choosing to skew it. Had there been a conservative government in power at the time, the war would still have happened, the bombings would still have happened, the protests and marches would still have happened.
This notion that the Iraq war would not have happened - or that the UK wouldn't have been involved - if it wasn't for Blair and New Labour is just absolute nonsense. There are wheels that turn in this world that are unstoppable. The individuals who happen to be in "power" at the time are inconsequential.
